As one of the world’s largest amateur golf tournament series, the Audi quattro Cup sees Germany’s best amateur golfers compete each year in the national finals. This year, Nico Schellhase / Sebastian Topel (golf club Bad Salzuflen) and Lukas Meier / David Diehl (golf club Baden Hills) prevailed against a total number of 196 participants meaning they qualify for the World Final from 22 to 26 September in Kitzbühel, Austria.

This year’s tournament marks the 29th edition of the Audi quattro Cup. This year, 98 qualifying tournaments were held from 27 April to 16 August throughout Germany with approximately 10,000 amateur golfers, participating in teams of two, accepting the invitation from Audi’s partners to compete for a place in the much-coveted final round held at the Arnold Palmer golf course at Scharmützelsee near Berlin. The two winning teams qualify for the Audi quattro Cup World Final taking place from 22 to 26 September at the Kitzbühel.Schwarzsee-Reith golf club. Participants also played to win an Audi A5 Cabrio up for grabs for a hole-in-one. But the car remained without new owner however as no-one managed to ace the 11th hole.

Away from the greens and fairways, the line-up of activities laid on by host Audi saw participants and guests trying out the latest Taylor Made golf clubs, test driving the Audi e-tron model and discovering the car manufacturer’s latest technology thanks to a virtual reality experience. Spectators could also try their hand at golf thanks to the taster course put on by Audi. The nearby Scharmützelsee sailing club also offered a chance to get out on the water while those looking for something more relaxed could choose from stand-up paddle boarding or a wide variety of yoga classes.

Racing driver Tom Kristensen was guest of honour at the Audi quattro Cup Germany final. The winning prizes were presented by Alexander Schuhmacher, Head of South/East Sales Strategy at Audi AG, and Hubert Link, Head of Marketing Germany at AUDI AG.
